FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Occurrences of General In
terest in Other Lands.
Emperor Williams Peaceful Speech
In the New German Reichstag.

The new German Reichstag has been opened
In Berlin. The Emperor's speech was read
from the throne. Init he says he is gratiled
at the benevolent disposition the Pope
has shown toward the German En-
pire, The foreign policy Of the EN-
pire is continually directed to the
maintenance of peace with all powers and
especially with Germany's neighbors. If the
present Reichstag, without hesitation or
division, gives unanimous expression to the re-
solve that the nation will put forth its full
strength in full panoply now and at all times
against any attack upon our frontiers, such
resolution, even before carried out, will mate
remove the doubts which the late Parliament
airy debate may have inspired. The Emperor
feels assured that the Reichstag by its resolu-
tions will give the Federal Government q ma
tional policy ON a safe basis, and derives from
this conviction the confident hope that God
will bless his efforts to preserve the peace
and security of Germany. The same internal
bills that were submitted to the previous
Reichstag will again be offered. The crea-
ton of new sources of revenue and the reform
of the methods Of taxation are urged.
Two hundred and fifty members were pres
ent, including most Of the members OF the
National Liberal party, chief supporters of
the Septennate. The members of the Bun
desrath entered the chamber headed by
Herr Won Boetticher, representative Of the
Chancellor, who read the Emperor's speech.
The concluding passages Of the speech, refer
ring to Germany's peaceful policy and appeal
ing to the Reichstag for unanimity in voting
the Army bill, were repeatedly interrupted
by cheers.
When the reading Of the speech was con-
cluded Count Lerchenfeld proposed three
cheers for the Emperor, and led the demon
stration that followed in response.
The President elect Of the Raichstag is
Conservative, while the Vice-President is
National Liberal. Both support the Septen-
nate. The National Liberals desire Herr
Benningsen to continue in the leadership Of
their party.
